Chapter 176
It's just a story, a jar of old wine has been unsealed with mud, and it can only be drunk until it is gone.
This old wine, this little thing, is like being aged for many years in Chen Ping'an's stomach, as soon as it is opened, when you meet the right person, you will have the aroma of wine, and Chen Ping'an will only drink with him when he meets the right person.
Lu Tai was the one who drank with him.
Even if Chen Ping'an likes people he respects and is close to, Ning Yao, A Liang, Liu Xianyang, Gu Can, Taoist Zhang Shanfeng, Chen Ping'an has never talked about this stubble.
It's a pity that after listening to this story, Lu Tai didn't seem to feel much, and finally joked with Chen Ping'an, telling me this, does it mean that a man like me who is unreasonable and unconventional, has few good ends, and in the end, he can't even keep a grave?
Chen Ping'an laughed dumbly, so he had to jump off the railing and return to the first floor.
For some reason, it was like chatting with Lu Tai, and after talking about this old incident of Chen Sesame and rotten grain, Chen Ping'an felt much more comfortable in his heart, like untying the knot.
The sword practice that afternoon was also an avalanche style, and I felt less stagnant and a little more round.
After this day, Lu Tai changed his outfit, pinned his head to the hosta, wore a green shirt, and held a yellow bamboo folding fan, from a stunning beauty to a handsome son, which made Chen Ping'an feel relieved, so even if Lu Tai walked to the first floor from time to time, he either flipped through his collection of books, or boiled a pot of tea to watch him practice swordsmanship, Chen Ping'an didn't say anything.
And Lu Tai is worthy of being known as the most knowledgeable son of the Yin and Yang family, and Chen Ping'an said a lot of things that he had never heard of before, such as the boxing is divided into inside and outside, the sword frame is divided into spirit, and he also said the precautions and some suggestions for polishing the fourth realm, after a pure martial artist enters the Qi refining realm, how to boil the three souls, pay attention to a lot, the three souls of the human body, the fetal light is the yang qi of Taiqing, and the martial artist tempers this soul, it is best to choose the rising sun and the brilliant morning glow. Make one of the three souls stronger and more vibrant.
When Lu Tai mentioned this matter, Chen Ping'an was embarrassed and weak.
At the beginning of the opening of the Three Realms in the ancestral house of the Sun family in the old dragon city, a golden dragon surged down from the sea of clouds in the morning glow, but was punched back by him, and it was not once, but twice.
Lu Tai was kneeling by the window at the time, after changing his costume and makeup, with a high crown and a big sleeve, a scholar, drinking the tea he brewed with the essence of the famous spring of Bishui Lake, he was so active, he saw the clue at once, and asked the bottom of it, involving martial arts cultivation, Chen Ping'an and the plate out, Lu Tai squirted out a mouthful of tea on the spot, stretched out his thumb to Chen Ping'an, and said that the master who taught you Chen Ping'an's talisman and boxing method is estimated to be an unruly temperament.
Chen Ping'an asked if there was a remedy, Lu Tai thought about it, drank a cup of tea, and said that when he arrived in Tongyezhou, he could try his luck and go to some martial saint temples where gods and spirits roamed the yang. Speaking of this, Lu Tai was a little embarrassed, saying that before he left home to travel, he heard from his master that a young martial artist of the Daduan Dynasty had such good qualifications and talents that he was shocking to the world, so powerful that several martial saint temple gods took the initiative to find him, and they wanted to give him a piece of martial luck, and that guy was even more excessive than him Chen Ping'an, and he actually repelled those martial temple gods who took the initiative to show favor with one punch.
Chen Ping'an guessed that most of it was Cao Ci who practiced on the Great Wall of Sword Qi.
Lu Tai casually mentioned it, not only to warn Chen Ping'an, but also as if he was introspecting, saying that it doesn't matter if it's a pure martial artist or a cultivator on the mountain,
On the avenue, luck is very important, but whether you can catch it or not is more important. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there are countless examples of geniuses dying early, which is the reason.
Chen Ping'an thought so.
But Lu Tai immediately changed his words, saying that you Chen Ping'an live in such a simple place, afraid of all troubles, never take the initiative to pursue opportunities, and only think about avoiding opportunities, which is very bad.
The reason why Lu Tai has this "complaint" is that in addition to Chen Ping'an's reluctance to have an intersection with him at first, it also stems from the fact that this treasure swallowing whale opened the secret realm entry ban of the fourth broken blessed land some time ago, and allowed passengers to enter to explore, as long as the passengers pay a Gu Yu money, they can enter it to experience cultivation, and all the income will not be claimed by the ferry, but if someone is willing to convert it into snowflake money and sell it on the spot, of course the treasure swallowing whale welcomes it.
This treasure swallowing whale is the unique thing of the Five Soldiers Sect of Jinjiazhou, this secret realm has many remnants of ancient magic, it is extremely difficult to open, and the cost is very great, after getting this secret realm, the Five Soldiers Sect according to the general practice, eat alone and "eat" for a full hundred years, and in the end found that the gains outweighed the losses, so the Five Soldiers Sect simply opened this name called "Dengzhen Wonderland" to the outside world, and learned the Lizhu Cave of the Aquarius Continent, and charged a toll.
Dengzhen Fairyland, the territory is thousands of miles away, just a ruined land, the size is already comparable to the entire Lizhu Cave Heaven, can be among the seventy-two blessed land, the vastness, it is indeed far better than the thirty-six Cave Heaven.
This secret realm is opened once every ten years, only the practitioners under the Jindan Yuan Infant enter it, there is no threshold requirement for pure martial arts, there was a lucky person in Fuyao Continent two hundred years ago, but the cultivation of the Dongfu Realm, he actually got a powerful half-immortal soldier, probably because he felt that he couldn't keep the god general's halberd, and it was not suitable for him, so he sold it to the Five Soldiers Sect, which can be described as getting rich overnight, and then relying on his wealth, he piled himself up on the Jindan Realm by relying on money, and a Gu Yu money was exchanged for a Jindan cultivation, who is not envious?
This matter caused a sensation in Jinjiazhou, and for a time poured into the Dengzhen Wonderland, there were as many qi practitioners as the carp crossing the river, and it took a very hard relationship to line up in the early days, and it was no longer a matter of Gu Yuqian, after three hundred years of going in and out, during which there were all kinds of blessings and magic weapons in the world, but they were not as exaggerated as the half-immortal soldiers, and the search for Dengzhen Wonderland gradually became less hot, but it was still a party that made people feel that it was worth the money.
However, of course, Lu Tai knew that this kind of "good start" was mostly the handiwork of the merchant masters who instructed the Five Soldiers Sect.
With the box of rouge that is popular on several continents, it is a partnership with the pit people.
However, the reality and depth of the real and profound of the real fairyland, Lu Tai is very clear, and the master said that if he is interested and has leisure, he might as well go on a trip and see if he can pick up some tatters worth a little money.
Why did Lu Tai take the Treasure Swallowing Whale this time?
Of course, the opportunity to sign the hexagram and the avenue is the most important, but entering the Dengzhen Wonderland is also a windfall that he is determined to get.
Lu Tai originally tried his best to invite Chen Ping'an to enter the Dengzhen Wonderland together to find the fairy land and magic weapon opportunities, but in the end, even if Chen Ping'an promised to lend Lu Tai another Gu Yu money, he still insisted on not gambling on luck.
Lu Tai had to enter alone, and after twenty years, he left Dengzhen Wonderland, and returned three Gu Yu money to Chen Ping'an on the same day, and the extra one was said to be interest. After listening to Lu Tai's journey and huge gains, Chen Ping'an accepted it with peace of mind, it turned out that Lu Tai relied on the family inheritance of yin and yang techniques to break the ban of an ancient immortal mansion, and there was no danger along the way, and he almost became the owner of the ancient immortal mansion, but because of the rules set by the Five Soldiers Sect, he took the initiative to give up the control of the blessed land mansion, and traded privately with the Five Soldiers Sect, and exchanged it for Gu Yuqian, a lot of the kind. Because of the cross-continent trade of the Five Soldiers Sect, many places need Xiaoxia money and Gu Yu money, so the Five Soldiers Sect temporarily owes Lu Tai on credit, and it will be fully repaid within half a year, and an additional bonus will be added.
Don't think that the Five Soldiers Sect is a big loss, but in fact, after the original chicken rib immortal mansion was successfully opened by Lu Tai, due to the abundant spiritual energy, suitable for cultivation, the noble guests of the treasure swallowing whale, such as Jindan Yuanying, who are high in the eyes of the world, will be willing to live in it, the water is long, the Five Soldiers Sect does not lose at all, the merchants make money, and the huge profits are of course very good, but this kind of "money vein" of stable income is the foundation of long-term existence.
In one fell swoop, Lu Tai became the third lucky person in the history of the Dengzhen Secret Realm.
In addition, Lu Tai got an ancient immortal technique from the Immortal Mansion and a superior magic weapon called "Aoshan Phantom Tower".
Lutai did not sell these two opportunities.
But even if Lu Tai really proved that Chen Ping'an missed a Hongfu, Chen Ping'an still didn't have too many emotional ups and downs, just put the earned Gu Yu money on the table, and occasionally read a book, so he flipped Gu Yuqian with his fingers and let it roll around on the back of his hand, for Chen Ping'an, this is a good way to relieve his fatigue, and the results are immediate.
This made Lu Tai very depressed.
said a lot of bitter words, but Chen Ping'an was unmoved.
So every time Lu Tai made tea, he didn't mean to invite Chen Ping'an to drink together, of course, it is estimated that Chen Ping'an himself had no idea.
Lu Tai is an authentic and exquisite person, not deliberately, but born in a thousand-year-old tyrant, and it is also a family of immortals, not comparable to ordinary human races, so Lu Tai's temperament is natural, not only Zhong Lingyuxiu, but also ear and eye.
The tea of the bucket tea should be new. Techniques and tea sets, to be ancient. The spring water for boiling tea should be clear and heavy. Tea drinkers should be pure and spiritual.
Lu Tai has been with Chen Ping'an for a long time, and he always feels that Chen Ping'an is too rigid, so he has more than enough but not enough spirit.
The same will still live up to his good tea.
Just like today, Lu Tai took the opportunity to mention this sad incident of "money fell from the sky like rain, but you Chen Ping'an went to hide from the rain under the eaves", Chen Ping'an just silently did not speak.
Lu Tai felt that he really couldn't wake up this elm pimple, and he was probably about to give up convincing Chen Ping'an, so he casually said a big and inappropriate empty word, but the world is so impermanent, Chen Ping'an not only listened, but was extremely serious.
"Chen Ping'an, you practice boxing and swords, your heart is very fixed, this is where you are powerful, but you have to be careful, your heart is not dead, your mood is as calm as standing water, and you must avoid a pool of stagnant water."
This is what Lu Tai said casually, and even he thinks it is some nonsense.
But Chen Ping'an took the initiative to stop the boring sword frame that was turned over and over for the first time, sat in front of him, and learned from Lu Tai to sit on his knees and drink tea, which was a little awkward, and Lu Tai's chic and graceful, different from cloud and mud, just like an old farmer in the crop field, learning from the old master to sit and talk, he would only shake his head and pretend.
Chen Ping'an put on this posture, Lu Tai thought it was very funny, among the younger generation of the Middle Earth Divine Continent, Lu Junyan, who was known as the invincible opponent of tea fighting, squinted at Chen Ping'an, who was uncomfortable, how interesting it was, give him such a look, Chen Ping'an naturally became more and more restrained.
For real readers, Chen Ping'an is still very yearning.
Because of Mr. Qi, Li Xisheng, and Shen Wen, the god of Caiyi Country, even if Zhang Shanfeng's temporary poetry is opposed, it will make Chen Ping'an yearn for it.
Chen Ping'an overcame the discomfort in his heart and asked, "You mean that my heart has gone to extremes?" ”
Lu Tai was stunned for a moment, he was extremely talented, he didn't deal with it perfunctorily, and he didn't dare to make judgments.
If he is an ordinary person, Lu Tai can talk nonsense casually, or say something good or wrong.
But not today.
The two sat opposite each other, Chen Ping'an looked serious, and Lu Tai smiled bitterly in his heart, as if he had drawn the ground as a prison.
But Lu Tai's spirit moved, a little trance, came so early? I thought that only by stepping on the land of Tongye Island and traveling together, all kinds of ups and downs and tribulations, would there be signs of this opportunity. I never thought I would be so caught off guard. Lu Tai stabilized his mood, began to hold his breath, and solemnly handed Chen Ping'an a bowl of tea, "Drink slowly, when you finish drinking, I will say a little bit of my opinion." ”
Chen Ping'an didn't know what was important, and he just regarded it as an ordinary question and answer to find someone to solve his doubts, so he nodded, took the tea bowl, and took a sip.
After the turmoil on Osmanthus Island, Chen Ping'an met the old boatman who had loved Mrs. Gui for hundreds of years, who was not only the first boat supporter of Osmanthus Island, but also the only servant before Lu Shen Feisheng, and traveled the sea and the world together. At that time, Chen Ping'an had a strange dream, entered a certain book, "read a book overnight", and had a question and answer with Lao Zhouzi in the small world created by the wave of Lao Zhouzi at the ferry, so that the Zhouzi actually said "Don't damage my avenue".
At that time, Chen Ping'an was roughly talking about the two ends of a ruler.
He thinks that Zhouzi's truth has gone to extremes, which seems reasonable, but in fact it is unreasonable.
Because it is not perfect, it is not as good as the "mean" mentioned in the book.
And the root of Taoism is the four characters of Taoism and nature.
So when he was reading in a dream, Chen Ping'an vaguely remembered that someone said that the truth of Confucianism is never in a high place, not in how high it is, but whether the truth is in practice.
The man even said with a smile, our Confucian holy teacher, how profound and superb his knowledge is, but once after asking, he once sighed to a disciple in private, and even felt a little ashamed of himself, saying that someone's Tao is really high, but ......
It's a pity that Chen Ping'an can't remember the content after "but", he can't remember a word, it may be that person or that the book didn't say it at all.
Chen Ping'an asked this question today, of course, not with Lu Tai, Chen Ping'an didn't think about it so much.
Chen Ping'an has been practicing boxing since he was studying.
Haven't you really thought about your future?
Of course it can't be, I had a sixty-year appointment with the Sword Spirit Immortal Sister, and now I have another ten-year appointment with Ning Yao.
Chen Ping'an's two "tours" have even changed from the initial "I want to be the fastest with this punch" to "this punch can be faster, but it must be the most reasonable".
One of Chen Ping'an's most important sentences, maybe no one who heard this sentence at the time cared about it, was in an inn on his hometown, he said to the girl in the pink skirt and the boy in Tsing Yi, "If I do something wrong, you must tell me."
Chen Ping'an's heart, no matter how many punches he punched with his soul in the old man in the down-to-earth mangosteen building later, invisibly, Chen Ping'an was always doubting himself.
But this is a step that must be taken out of the way.
And the previous state of mind, or the ethereal heart, Chen Ping'an's same unintentional words have broken through the sky, which is the sentence that he said to Ning Yao's father and mother on the upside-down hanging mountain.
That means that Chen Ping'an has been denying himself.
"It's that I'm not good enough."
If you don't do it well enough, it's wrong.
How many people in the world would be so themselves?
But this mentality is not formed for no reason, but a broken natal porcelain, as well as the hardships and hardships afterwards, and all kinds of coincidences, forcing Chen Ping'an to piece together a complete state of mind is an unintentional and inevitable move.
It became a spectacle of the sun and the moon in the sky, and the stars were dim.
If it doesn't work, it's probably all kinds of no-shows and all kinds of disappointments.
If a person has nothing to eat, he will starve to death, but if his heart is dry, he will also beg for death, but he will die unconsciously, and he will die if he does not die today.
Desperate to survive, in adversity and desperate situation, rise up angrily and work hard.
But he quietly begged for death, overeating, did not know moderation, had seven emotions and six desires, and had all kinds of drawbacks, that is, the strange place in people's hearts.
The complexity of people's hearts is that even saints and immortals dare not admit that they can see through it.
